Chapter 9 Return to the Village

Kaleidoscope writing wheels!

Compared with other clansmen, as the patriarch, he naturally has a deeper understanding of these eyes.

Although Fu Yue at this moment, he only has a pair of three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes.

But after looking at the stone tablet of Nanga Shrine, he has a clearer understanding of the kaleidoscope than ordinary people.

"Kaleidoscope?"

The excited discussion of the clansmen, Fu Yue could no longer hear it, and he seemed a little in a trance.

For these eyes, which had only been heard of on Madara before, the high-level state of the Writing Wheel Eye, it is impossible to say that you are not envious and do not yearn for it.

Even, Fu Yue has a faint fear in his heart.

The existence of Uchiha Xia Le will inevitably pose a threat to his status in the clan to a certain extent.

Looking at the frenzy of these guys on both sides, you can imagine it.

"I just hope that Xia Le is not a guy with huge ambitions!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be another spot in the family!"

His eyes shrank slightly, and Uchiha Fugaku sighed and quietly looked at the chaotic clansmen in front of him.

โ€”โ€”

The border between Konoha and the Land of Rain.

On this day, the sky was clear, and the sun was shining on the ground through the gaps in the leaves.

In the temporary station, many long ropes were pulled, and Konoha's standard clothes were put on it.

The end of the war also made the hearts of the people of Konoha feel a lot easier.

While waiting for news of returning to the village, the ninjas also took the time to pull out their robes that had been soaked by the rain for many days and dried them.

For a while, the scene here seemed particularly warm and quiet.

The three of Nagato are not cultivating anymore at the moment, but are playing with several tenninas in their teens.

Xia Le quietly leaned on the big tree on the side, watching this scene.

Everything in the world of pirates, like a memory, was hidden in his heart, and everything in this world became extremely clear.

He didn't know if it was because of the new life, but it undoubtedly brought new vitality to his originally dry and old heart.

"The war is finally over!"

Tsunade walked over slowly, his tone complicated.

Xia Le turned his head and looked at the female ninja with blonde hair, delicate face, a little green, and a grand scale on her chest, and she also sighed with emotion.

"yes, you can get some rest too!"

Tsunade shook his head: "Rest?" Not necessarily! โ€

She slowly raised her head, her face a little desolate and sad, looking at the blue sky.

"There will be no peace in this world!"

Xia Le was stunned and thoughtful.

There is no doubt that Tsunade lost a lot in this war.

Her lover Kato died, and her own brother Joshu also died in her arms, and because of this battle, she suffered from hemophobia.

"No, I believe that peace will come!"

"Tsunade, cheer up!"

Zilai is also full of confidence.

The big snake pill on the side, but in this spare time, he thought a lot.

In this battle, too many of Konoha's ninjas were killed, and the weakness of human life made him feel complicated.

The scale of life, in war, is as weak as paper.

He walked slowly and stopped in front of Xia Le.

"Xia Le, what do you think of the weakness of life?"

It seems that it is just an unintentional murmur, but it is also a verbal expression of Orochimaru's complex feelings.

When Xia Le heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Both of them were quietly looking ahead, and the three of Nagato were playing with a few shinobi.

One has blonde hair on his head and a warm smile, like a little sun, and the other has red hair and is a girl.

"Is that Bo Feng Shuimen?"

Xia Le asked suddenly.

"He is a disciple of Zilaiye, and he is indeed called Bo Feng Shuimen."

Orochimaru nodded.

His eyes were still staring at Xia Le, wanting to get the answer to the question just now.

Many people will face many problems in the war, which will subvert the life of the past.

The meaning of life seems insignificant here, but it is full of emotion.

"Human beings, in the face of a long time scale, are actually as small as ants."

Xia Le spoke slowly.

The first sentence made Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade raise their heads.

The other party's view of life is indeed somewhat unique.

"Weak human beings will not live much longer than animals in war."

"The life of ordinary human beings is only in eating, drinking, and Lazar, repeating all low-grade pleasures until the end of their lives."

"So, Orochimaru, what do you think is the meaning of life?"

Xia Le smiled and asked rhetorically.

Orochimaru was stunned, he couldn't answer the question, especially in combination with what the other party said.

Life doesn't seem to have any meaning.

"Everybody will die, everybody will die!"

"So, I can't answer you this question either."

"Because the meaning of life is not what others tell you, but depends on yourself."

After a pause, Xia Le smiled slightly.

"What kind of person do you want to be in this limited scale of life? What to do? โ€

"To accomplish something that belongs to you, what kind of goals, dreams?"

"To change the people around you, to help those who need to be helped, or to change the whole world?"

"It's all up to you, isn't it?"

Orochimaru stood there stunned.

He has never looked at the scale and meaning of life from such a unique perspective. I just feel the death of my friends and companions in the war, and lament the weakness of life.

"Everyone has a meaning to live!"

"Everyone is changing the world, and an unintentional flower plucking, a sincere smile, can make an impact on the world."

"So, you can think that everyone's life is meaningful."

"In the same way, it can be regarded as meaningless!"

"Because, most people, in their lifetime, don't change much!"

After a slight pause, Xia Le stared at Orochimaru's eyes, as if he had seen through his heart.

"Rather, you're asking about the meaning of life."

"Rather, you're asking about the length of life."

Orochimaru was stunned, and his vertical eyes shrank together.

"So, what do you think about the length of life?"

The short conversation made him enjoy it a little, and this feeling of communicating with others was like talking about the Tao.

"Every human life has a meaning!"

"And the length of life can be changed!"

Xia Le was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"Oh?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

He was waiting for an answer.

"In other worlds, life may have an end!"

"But here."

"The length of life may be extended indefinitely."

Taking a slow breath, Xia Le's eyes turned to Orochimaru.

"So."

"Ask questions like that."

"Orochimaru, do you want to live forever?"

In an instant, Orochimaru's body shook, and the whole person was in a trance for a moment.

Live forever!

This is such a tempting topic, for a man like him, who feels the fragility of human beings, it is like poison, full of endless charm.

"Just kidding!"

"You're not really tempted, are you?"

But soon, Xia Le's laughter came.

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at the other party, and said with a smile: "Who can not be tempted?" โ€

Xia Le shook his head: "In a sense, this is not a good thing. โ€

At this point, the smile on his face dissipated, replaced by a look of vicissitudes, seeing through the loneliness and emptiness of the world.

Three hundred years.

Loved ones, friends, and descendants passed away one by one.

Watch a dynasty rise, decline, collapse, and reorganize.

Orochimaru stared at this face, his sharpness, he seemed to perceive the secret of the other party's heart, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

"Isn't it, this guy?!"

But in just a moment, Xia Le returned to normal, and looked at the middle ninja who was walking towards them quickly.

"News from Konoha is here!"

Orochimaru raised his head, retracted his inner guess, and looked at the visitor.

"Orochimaru-sama!"

Nakashinobu bent down slightly and handed the scroll in his hand to the other party.

Orochimaru took it, and after unlocking the seal on it, his eyes swept away. After a moment, a smile appeared on his face.

"Three generations of Hokage, order us to leave today and return to Konoha!"

Hearing this, Tsunade, and Jiraiya all had a smile on their faces.

Immediately afterward, the news quickly spread throughout the station.

After glancing at Xia Le, Orochimaru went to summon him.

"Jiraiya, are you back to Konoha? Or do you want to keep traveling? โ€

Tsunade asked.

"I thought, let's keep traveling!"

Jiraiya thought about it for a moment and said with a smile.

At this time, the team that got the news of the retreat was already completely lively, and there were many cheers everywhere.

A moment later, led by Orochimaru, the team regrouped and headed towards Konoha.

Xia Le followed behind the former, and Tsunade was on the other side.

The three of Nagato followed closely next to Xia Le, and on one side were Jiraiya's disciple Bo Feng Shuimen and some other lower ninjas.

"Watergate, just graduated, joined such a battlefield? That's amazing! โ€

Complimenting casually, Xia Le smiled.

"Lord Xia Le praised it falsely, if it weren't for the protection of Teacher Jiraiya, I'm afraid."

Watergate hurriedly said.

"Hehe, it's already amazing!"

Xia Le laughed.

was praised by Xia Le, so that Shuimen, who is now just a ninja, couldn't help but blush.

He knew that the Uchiha lord in front of him could solve a big man like Sanshoyu Hanzo alone, and his strength was quite strong.

"Thank you, I took Nagato and the three of them to play."

Xia Le is the Tao again.

"As it should be!"

Bo Feng Shuimen was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"After returning to Konoha, I also bothered with Watergate, so I could take care of the three of them more."

Xia Le said with a smile.

"No problem!"

Watergate immediately agreed.

He also got along well with the three of them, especially Nagato, who, like Kushina, was a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Although those eyes are intimidating, they have a very gentle personality.

Orochimaru didn't care, Xia Le chatted with a few people in the water gate, but Tsunade was a little surprised, it seemed that he didn't expect that the strong man of the Uchiha clan would be so talkative.

Along the way, Xia Le and Shuimen, from their weekday training, to their cultivation experience, and the development of ninjutsu, almost did not pause.

Not only did it make Watergate suddenly open up in some places, but it also benefited Orochimaru and Tsunade a lot.

"Chakra, perhaps, can be seen as an invisible force."

"If you enhance the fineness of its control, with the polishing of the body, exercise."

"Will be able to make an extremely strong amplification of physical arts."

"If you go further, you can strengthen your perception of your own body and the perception of external things, and maybe a new power can be born!"

Xia Le said slowly.

This is the understanding he has gained after understanding the rules of this world in recent days.

But whether it is reliable or not is still doubtful.

Bring it up at this time, and hope to get an answer through them.

"Do you mean physical arts?"

Watergate said unexpectedly.

Xia Le nodded.

Ninjas are crispy chickens with high attack but low defense, and from this point, it can also be seen that the development of the human body in this world is far less in-depth than in the world of pirates.

But in the use of human cell energy, that is, chakra, it is a great advantage. But this chakra is also a big loophole.

Its roots are from ancient sacred trees.

In this way, the most reliable power in this world is actually natural energy that is difficult for ordinary people to absorb.

Xia Le's eyes flickered in the midst of chatting.

We must recognize the world and our own essential energy, so that we will not take the wrong path and point directly to the most powerful and fundamental force in this world.

"Lord Xia Le's perspective on strength really made me suddenly enlightened!"

"I was indeed negligent, tempering my body."

Watergate said with a smile.

Xia Le did not speak again.

It's just a casual chat on the way back.

But it was this small talk that made the few people involved change a lot in the future.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of the opponent's invulnerable body when fighting against Hanzo, and with his physical body, he was able to deliver an astonishing destructive slash.

Obviously, Xia Le has already taken a step ahead in the development of the body.

Tsunade, on the other hand, is contrasted with Xia Le's weird and terrifying power, which is very similar to her strange power fist, but it is different.

The team maintained a steady pace and headed towards Konoha.

As time passed, the distance to Konoha also got closer.

โ€”โ€”

Konoha Village Entrance.

The civilians on both sides, crowded, looked out on tiptoe, with curiosity and excitement in their eyes.

"Are you coming?"

"Haven't seen it yet."

"Is this war a victory for us?"

"Of course, I heard that the head of Hanzo of the Sansho fish was packed into a box and brought back."

"Uchiha is really famous this time!"

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทโ€

The chaotic sound kept ringing, and the entire Konoha Village was lively.

In the crowd, Uchiha Fugaku was dressed in a loose robe with the iconic fan logo on the back, and behind him were Uchiha Sashina and other clansmen.

They came slowly, and the noise in the street was a little quieter.

"It's the Uchiha!"

"In this battle, they are in the limelight!"

"The Uchiha clan has never lacked geniuses!"

The exclamation sounded, and the Uchiha clansmen couldn't help but puff up their chests.

The arrival of Uchiha Fugaku and his entourage also brought the atmosphere of the scene to the limit.

After a while, the three generations of Hokage, who wore hats on their heads, also came here slowly, surrounded by a group of Konoha elders.

"It's three generations of adults!"

"Hokage-sama is here too!"

The crowd erupted into a riot.

Uchiha Fugaku turned his head to look, and the three generations of Hokage raised his head, looked at the young patriarch, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Patriarch Fugaku!"

"Hokage-sama!"

The two greeted each other lightly and did not show any other feelings.

Then, they all turned their heads and looked out of the village.

There, figures leaped out of the trees and onto the main road, walking slowly.

It was Orochimaru's party who retreated from the battlefield and won the victory.

And at the forefront, standing next to Orochimaru, the figure with the fan logo engraved on the robe is the most eye-catching.

The young people of the Uchiha clan became fanatical in an instant.
